Course of

Professional goldsmith

This is the most popular precious metal working course. Essential for those who want to pursue a profession, but also highly satisfying for all enthusiasts who want to cultivate goldsmith as a simple hobby. Students will learn all the most important workshop techniques by making various goldsmith objects, from the simplest to the most complex, designed by the School for the best learning. The metal we use for teaching is 925% silver. Given its characteristics, it’s considered as the ideal metal to learn with. All objects, tailor-made, will remain students property, who will thus be able to keep everything they make.

A certificate of attendance will be issued at the end of the Course program.
